Innovative
Art Exhibition Entitled ‘Floored’

To Be Held
At U.T. Dallas Sept. 28 – Oct. 26

RICHARDSON, Texas (September 10, 2001) - An innovative
art exhibition entitled “Floored” and jointly sponsored by The
University of Texas at Dallas (UTD) and The University of Dallas in
Irving will be held at the Visual Arts Gallery on the UTD campus from
Sept. 28 through Oct. 26.

A reception will be held at the gallery at 6:30 p.m. on the opening
day of the show. The exhibition will be open on weekdays from 9 a.m. to
10 p.m. and on Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.

In the “Floored” exhibition, the art is re-framed away from the
wall and off the pedestal, explained co-curator and highly acclaimed
artist John Pomara of UTD.

“Viewed from above, the floor begins to function structurally as a
field of pictorial information violating the normal conventions of
painting and sculpture,” said Pomara.

The other co-curator of the exhibition is Christine Bisetto of The
University of Dallas. Artists participating in the show will be
Elizabeth McGrath of New York City; Jessica Halonen and Brooke Stroud,
both of Houston; Michelle Monseau and Meg Leghorne, both of San Antonio;
and John Breazeale of Dallas.
